I tried to respond but your box is full. To sum up my reply, I agree with you completely.
James - LOL! You have to understand that ALL of us in seminary are held to a very high standard. So, it's dangerous on many levels for us to do anything that will take attention away from God. Honestly, I think that the drinking thing is ridiculous, but I uphold that rule because it's the honorable thing to do.
I think you just have to understand the mentality of seminary students/people in ministry. We are completely giving ourselves over to God's direction. So for example, for me to drink right now is like me saying I'm not going to hit you and then turning around and hitting you. What good is my word?
